Tapatio Mexican Grill - Somerville

This is my favorite neighborhood establishment. Great papusas, tamales, burritos, and more. The Tapatio platter is a great value! You can get multiple meals from this one entree. I was pleased to find they are taking Covid-19 seriously, with employees correctly wearing masks and gloves at all times and social distancing rules for numbers and spacing of customers.

A typical experience here: you walk in and a few workers will be behind the counter. You're lucky if you get greeted or smiled at. Usually, they stare at you while you're thinking of what to order- you'll get the feeling they're annoyed because you don't immediately know what food you want. If you ask any questions about the menu, they'll mumble something unhelpful. However, the food they make is fantastic. So, if you want good Mexican food and are willing to deal with a very rude and rushy staff, go here. What I normally do is order them off Uber Eats so I can skip the disrespectful attitudes at the restaurant and just enjoy the food.

I know four people who have all gotten sick from this establishment on separate occasions… If you don’t want to spend the rest of your day in the bathroom, don’t go here!

Ok ladies and gentlemen, please stir the food so that it doesn't dry out and become salty and measure the seasoning well. I won't say more but improve the appearance of the food and put the tortillas in better, thank you.

Food was prepared quick, the burrito I had was delicious. Would come back again
